Aluminum Bracket Hardware – How are they Made?
Aluminum Bracket Hardware – How are they Made? Brackets are used in many ways. Basically, their main purpose is to hold something in place. They are there so that something that shouldn’t move does not. When it comes to these brackets, they have to be very strong and should last long. In this case, aluminum is the perfect choice to make these brackets.
Aluminum Bracket Hardware has several advantages over steel brackets. First of all, aluminum is cheaper compared to steel. Aluminum Brackets Hardware can also last longer compared to steel made brackets, at the same time, aluminum can last longer than steel brackets. Most of all, Aluminum Brackets Hardware is made through die casting, which means that no welding is necessary in completing these brackets. A solid bracket is stronger compared to a bracket with welding points as these points can become weak links in the bracket. It is important that these brackets are strong and reliable so that it can achieve its purpose of not letting anything move when it shouldn’t.
Aluminum Brackets Hardware is commonly made through the process known as die casting. As said before, because they are made through die casting they are stronger as they do not need to be welded together. The first step in this process is to melt the aluminum bars into liquid form so that it can be injected into large metal casings which are actually die casting molds to give the liquid its shape. Once it is injected, the castings will be cooled down. After it cools and opened, the end product is new Aluminum Brackets Hardware.
Kinetic Die Casting utilizes die casting to manufacture parts like aluminum car parts, airplane parts, lighting parts and much, much more. If you would like to request a quote, please visit our website:Die Casting quote
Wells Fargo Closes Die Cast Company Employees Picket
Davenport, IA – Banks that accepted bailout money are coming under even more criticism as they decide to liquidate some companies in need. Wells Fargo is taking heat from local Quad City Die Casting employees and union members for forcing the company to close come July.
Resolving to get a chance to talk, about a dozen employees who work for Quad City Die Casting show up at Wells Fargo late Monday afternoon. They ride up to corporate offices with a letter asking for a meeting to discuss alternatives to liquidating the manufacturing company.
“Hopefully they give us some time for someone else to buy us out,” says Lorey Butler, QC Die Casting employee of 9 years.
They return 20 minutes later. Their request for a meeting, denied.
“They were polite, but they said no and we were polite and said that’s not good enough,” says Tim Curtin, Union Representative.
Quad City Die Casting is set to close July 12th, leaving about 100 people out of work after Wells Fargo decided not extend more credit to the company. Union workers we spoke to didn’t know how much the company owed the bank but say, the $25 billion Wells Fargo got in bailout money should help save companies like there’s.
“We’re going to hold them accountable to for the bailout money they got from us and insist that they extend credit and keep jobs in our community,” says Leah Fried, union organizer.
Wells Fargo would not grant an interview and says it can’t comment on QC Die Casting in particular. But the company did release a statement saying it has extended more than $225 billion in credit to US consumers and businesses, nine times the amount of the investment it was given. It’s a time when banks face the hard decision of which companies to save and which to let go. Nothing in the stimulus bills requires a bank to save every company that needs it. But these employees believe QC Die Casting should be saved because of its history.
“They have a future of being profitable, they were profitable just a few short months ago and can be profitable again,” says Fried.
Employees say they’ll keep demanding a meeting to see if there are any alternatives to closing the factory. But their efforts might prove futile because Wells Fargo has told them it can’t talk with employees about the company’s finances and they need to talk with their employer instead.

The Best Lighting Fixtures – Aluminum Lighting
The Best Lighting Fixtures – Aluminum Lighting. Your office or your home will never be as beautiful as it is today without lighting fixtures. The purpose of lighting fixtures is to provide synthetic glow or lighting inside homes or business establishments. There are two classifications of lighting fixtures; the internal and external lighting fixtures. Various types of lighting fixtures can be used in aerospace lights, marine lights and emergency lights.
Aluminum Lighting Fixtures have been present for a very long time now, and they can be manufactured without being drilled or being soldered. As a result, creating lighting fixtures that vary in forms and sizes can be easy. In addition, Aluminum Lighting Fixtures possess a great thermal characteristic. Because of the fact that aluminum is lightweight, the cost of transporting lighting fixtures will not be expensive.
If Die Casting was never invented, the making of lighting fixtures would be hard, costly and exhaustive, and the production of modern and ingenious Aluminum Lighting Fixtures in various forms would be limited. From the time when Die Casting existed, production of lighting fixtures improved.
Another known benefit of Aluminum Lighting Fixtures aside from being good conductors of electricity, is that they are very durable unlike lighting fixtures that are made in plastic. Aluminum Lighting Fixtures can be dry-coated if you want to give them a more attractive appearance.
Die Casting Aluminum Lighting Fixtures are commonly used on wall scones fixtures, outdoor coach lights, warm temperature light casings, walk light casings, stoplight casings, bullet light fixture, parking garage lighting fixture casings and dangling light fixtures in medical workplaces.

Cold Chamber Die Castings – How it Works
Cold Chamber Die Castings – How it Works. Aluminum die casting is often compared to permanent mold casting, a process in which metal injection is done on mold that is placed under high pressure. A lot of times, the results are similar dies that are perfectly furnished with fine texture and precise measurements. Some companies may also opt to go through post-machining to ensure the accuracy of all dies produced after the entire process. One of the most effective ways to execute aluminum die casting is through cold chambered machines.
Cold chamber die castings are done with molten metal that is accurately measured into the main chamber as the alloy is injected. The good thing about this process is that there is less time for the molten metal to be fully exposed on the plunger. Since aluminum is sensitive to high temperatures due to possible harm in the pumping system, cold chamber die castings help even out the process. In cold chamber die castings, a holding pot is kept open to pour in the molten metal so as to neutralize the temperature of the material. Instead of pumping the molten metal once it is placed inside the holding pot, this is ladled through the shot chamber by use of a pouring hole. Unlike in hot chambered die casting, a gooseneck channel is not needed during metal injection. The plunger can easily aid in moving the molten metal into the shot chamber to form the die in the injection sleeve. Once the die has transformed into its solid state, this can now be used as an efficient component for the die casters’ client.

386 Jobless, Two Die Casting Companies Ready to Close
Pace Industries, Quad City suffering from weak consumer demand. Two more nonferrous diecasting plants are set to close in the coming weeks, and in both cases the shutdowns are attributed to the overall weak economic conditions. Aluminum diecasting was among the first industrial market segments to feel the effects of the automotive industry’s sharp decline in 2008. Lately, plants that supply diecastings to general industrial, commercial, and consumer markets are feeling the effects of generally weak demand.
Pace Industries will close its Monroe City, MO, plant in July, following a notice to employees earlier this month. The plant is one of 19 operations for the company, which produces machined and finished diecastings and assemblies to manufacturers of automobiles, appliances, and commercial and consumer products.
Last year Leggett & Platt Inc. sold Pace to Kenner Industries and a team of company managers. Kenner had owned the group until it sold Pace to Leggett & Platt in 1996. Reportedly, Pace Industries has endured a 30-50% decline in sales revenue in recent earnings periods.
The Monroe City plant produces aluminum and zinc diecastings, and employs 147 workers and 39 managers and clerical staff.
Quad City Die Casting Co. will close its Moline, IL, plant in July, another move attributed to depressed market demand. It produces aluminum, magnesium, and zinc diecastings, largely for products American Kawasaki Motorcycle Corp., but also for other automotive, industrial, and consumer buyers.
About 100 workers will be affected at Moline. The holding company, QuadCast Inc., also operates Davenport White Metal in Davenport, IA, and Red Oak Casting in Red Oak, IA.
That could mean 386 people out of work.
